PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We regret to find that the Magistrates in the neighbour hood of Manchester are charged with reluctance to dis charge their duty. The Manchester Guardian, alluding to the constant incitements to incendiarism and assassina tion, the calls on the labouring classes to arm and drill, with the ultimate view of taking by force what the Legis lature may choose to deny, and in the meantime of wreak ing vengeance on those they presume to be their enemies, observes— " Apparently nothing will be done until some frightful popular outbreak, or some dreadful secret assassinations shall have taught the Magistrates by bitter experience that they have grievously neglected the duties which they have taken upon themselves. . . . . We understand that some of the Magi s t ra t es in the neighbourhood profess to rely upon the assistance of Government in this matter; expecting, we suppose, that Lord John Russell will either act in their stead, or advise them what they ought to do in each particular case which may be presented to their notice. If any such expectations are entertained by the Ma gistrates, we would advice thole gentlemen to dismiss them at or.ce ; for most assuredly it is neither the usual practice nor at all the duty of the Secretary of State to act in such cases, or to advise the Magistrates how they shall deal with any specific offence, or any particular offender. They have the law to re sort to; and if they see that it is daily broken, to the imminent danger of the public peace, it is their duty to act at once, with out waiting for advice or assistance from the Government, or from any other quarter. If they do not know when the law is broken, or if, knowing it, they have not the courage and firm ness to interpose for the protection of the public, and the punishment of the offenders, they are not fit to continue in the Commission of the Peace, and ought at once to resign the duties which they are not competent to discharge." This disposition to rely on others in cases of danger and difficulty is, we fear, but too common. Magistrates are most efficient in times when there is no danger ; but we have generally seen that when there is danger they dread exposing themselves, their property, or their families to popular vengeance. Sir Robert Peel sad some years ago that we had outgrown many of our institutions ; and we have no doubt the conviction will soon become general that the police of the country must undergo a thorough reform. It never will do to leave it to this or that Ma gistrate to trust to his neighbour, and make good the pro verb that what is every body's business is nobody's busi ness. There must in every district be some functionary specially responsible for its peace, and against whom it would be a matter of grave impeachment if disorder were to gain a head. This winter will try severely the value of our institutions. In most of our great towns there is a tolerably good police force modelled after that of the me tropolis. But throughout the smaller towns and villages there are really no means of repression. The army is comparatively small, and cannot be everywhere. It will be necessary to organize a rural police, or we very much mistake the signs of the times. —Morning Chronicle. It was towards the end of November that the Times newspaper, in referring to the affairs of Ireland, put the interrogatory to Lord Melbourne's Cabinet—" My Lords and Gentlemen, what do you mean to do ," We asked them how far they meant to crawl at the feet of Messrs. O'Connell, Crotty, &c. ?—of Mr. O'Connell and his Pre cursor crew, who, more inveterate than ever in the perse cution of Protestants, and of their religion, in the scheme of utterly extinguishing the Protestant E s t a bli s h e d Ch urc h —in the con s pi racy for overturning the Reform Bill, the grand " crack" achievement of the " Reform Cabinet," by deluging the House of Commons with fifty or sixty ad ditional Irish caterans, and robbing the constituency of this country of an equal number of independent English Pro testant votes ? Nobody will deny that such an appeal to the Queen's advisers was natural, seasonable, and founded on justifiable reasons. The Queen's Ministershad made avowedly an original compact with the Romish demagogues and priests of Ireland to carry on the Government in a Romish spirit ; that is, by ostensibly upholding O'Connell's pla carded measures, and practically bestowing their patronage on O'Connell's friends ; while the Agitator agreed on his part, for " self and tail," to make a return in kind, that is, by the votes of self and tail in Parliament to support these accommodating Ministers. When, therefore, Mr. Daniel O'Connell brought forward his prospectus of a new system of political convulsion, wherein all the worst features of the original demands produced at Lichfield-house were frightfully aggravated, and some before unheard-of out rages were for the first time insisted on—when the name of " Precursor" was significantly affixed to an associa tion of which the three main objects—that is, the pro fessed ones, were to extirpate the Established Church, to exact Universal Suffrage, and to repeal the Reform Bill, which purposes were to be accomplished by a federation of conspirators, bound together by the above engagements, and operating upon the fears of the Sovereign and Legislature by an exhibition of physical force, engraft ing the seditious or rather insurrectionary denomination of " fighting men" upon the lawful title of " petitioners,"— when, we say, such a plot was promulgated by the very men on whom notoriously the Ministers depended for their only tenure of office, it was time to ask them (was it not ?) " What now do you mean to do ?" It is, we acknowledge, fair to recollect at what period of the year this fresh ini quity of the Popish demagogue was prepared. It was just before the season of his annual extortion from the pau per multitude of Ireland. It was just a few weeks previous to the " riot day," after the general harvest had been got in, and a portion of it turned into money. He left himself just breathing time to travel through the country—to call meetings—to bellow forth brutal denunciations against the Church and State and British monarchy —to fill the empty heads of his hungry dupes and half-clad contributors with chimeras of Irish power, of Popish ascendancy, of an Irish majority in an Imperial Parliament, an efficient majority, because it (that is he, O'Connell) would never fail, with a band of followers so numerous, to hold the balance be tween any two parties of English politicians ; or if such projects could not be realized—nay, if any one of them should fail of success, why, then he would inflame the bar barous crowd to frenzy with threats, and vows, and boasts, and assurances that the alternative should be nothing short of a repeal of the Union, and that millennium of all mockery, a College -green Parliament. This, then, was before that desecration of the Sabbath called " Rent-Sun day." But what happened since ? The rent went on, and its quantum for the year was decided. The Precursor agitation went on, and the shilling collection progressed simultaneously with the rent, to what amount we know not. O'Connell, after adjuring the country to grant him a conscription of 5,000,000 of men, about 3,500,000 more than there are adult male Papists in Ireland, boasted afterwards, or somebody for him, that the Precursors had subscribed, not five millions of shillings, but exactly one hundredth part of the sum, viz., 50,000 — no bad haul neither—in augmentation of the rent, being precisely 2,500/. Well, but, as we said before, what hap pened? It happened that after the rent had been collected, and the popular, or pauper, excitement had done its work —but not before, observe—the Ministers bethought them selves of turning the whole thing to account, and screwing a trifle of reputation out of it. Accordingly Lord Nor manby let it be understood, to the entire amazement of those "Patriots" who were not in the secret, that no "Pre cursor should obtain any description of office under his Government." Through other channels, likewise, it was made known—(a letter, for instance, from Mr. Ponsonby, was one of them)—that the Whigs had too much conscience—or too little nerve—to come up to O'Connell's giant standard of precursorship. What, then, was left for the Agitator ? Oh. it was all right— only luff up a little. So what does this political trickster do ? After pocketing—mark the double plunder—the O'Connell riot, and the entrance money of the Precursors, be resolves to bag the same amount of patronage from the Crown as ever, and actually assembles once more those unspeakable dupes the " Precursors," telling them— " Herea3tary bondsmen, know ye" this, that I have begged or bullied you out of your 50,000 shillings for the de clared purpo s e pf destroying the Established Church, of wringing from the Legislature Universal Suffrage, and of giving you the Precursors 50 more Representatives in te e Imperial Parliament, or of forcing a repeal of the Union. But, as I find on good authority that other peop le, to wit, my heretofore obedient vassals the Whig Ministers, have become for the first time in their lives a little squeamish , and have even boggled somewhat about granting the same number of offices on my recom mendation as formerly , I now propose that we c h ange a name or two iu our vocabulary of revolution —that we add an ounce or two of hypocrisy to the other ingredients of this Precursor dose, and leave a loophole for Lords Mel bourne, Normanby, &c., to escape through, by strikin g , the for a short time, our insurg ent flag, decency and hoisting la " Union" instead thereof, less shocked, while the corruptthat so o bargain between me publicyand Downing-street remains on the same comfortable and lu crative footing as before. Yes ; this the manceuvr e is which the scamp has just been exec uting b of the whole world. He has got his money — he has not lost his patronage—be has done nothing but add some dozen fresh lies to his catalogue—he has no doubt made • his peace with Father Crotty, and is not an atom worse in quarter of in character than he has been any time this of a century.—Times. The Roman Papers mention that Cardinal Charles Odescalchi, aged 53, has resigned the purple, and retired into the convent of Jesuits at Verona. Odescalchi was the prelate whom the Romans would have prefered to see ele vated to the Papal seat ; but Austrian influence has hitherto forbid it. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of an an Irishman named Ryan, about forty years of age, a porter in Covent•garden Market, who fell down while attempting to lift a moderate load, and died shortly after, vomiting blood. The Jury returned a verdict of "Died by the Visitation of God." MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—Some flatness was caused in the Exchequer bill market to-day (Monday) by an incident which, unless it is explained, or found to originate in some mistake at the Treasury, is likely to influence it still more. An in dividual, it seems, offered for sale a commercial bill for 8001. of the class issued by the Government in aid of public works of various kinds ; but on examination it was found that it bore interest at the rate of lid. per diem only, instead of 2d, which is the usual rate for such bills. No notice of any reduction having been given, and this being the first of the kind that the jobbers had seen, an impression arose at first that some secret manoeuvre was intended at the Treasury to bring forward bills of a lower deno mination, and to try the strength of the market. This was thought, however, so unlikely in the present state of money and of the notorious wants of Government, that it was soon abandoned. The only offer the party who held the Bill could obtain was 10s. discount, the usual quotation for commercial bills being 103. or 123. premium, which he refused, and proceeded to make a tender of it to the Bank, where, under some agreement, express or implied, with the Treasury, such bills are usually taken at par. He was re ferred to the Bank broker, and it is understood that he has also met with a refusal there, owing to the novel ap pearance, as before described, which the bill presents. It has most probably arisen from an error in filling up one of the old printed forms, when the rate of interest was at lid. per diem, instead of the new ones. C HRONIC LE.—Money continues to be rather in de mand, but not to an extent to occasion any uneasiness, or any material change in the general state of affairs, and the appearance of the Money Market altogether is, in fact, no thing more than what it usually presents at this period of the year, when discounts are curtailed, and every prepara tion made to close the transactions of the year. Consols closed at 931 to for the opening, and Exchequer Bills at 63 to 65 premium. This was settling day in the Foreign Market, but it was unattended with any peculiar feature, and everything was adjusted satisfactorily. There is very little change to notice in the quotations. Spanish Active was last marked at 16k to 161 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 29 to 291 ; ditto Three per Cents., 19 to 191 ; Dutch Five per Cents., 1002- to 1004 ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 541 to 54i; Belgian, 991 to 100 ; Brazilian, 771 to 78 ; Colombian, 251 to 26 ; Mexican, 22} to 23 ; and Peru vian, 161 to 171. No business is going on in the Share Market. Bir mingham, old, left off 77 to 79 prem. ; ditto, new, 231 to 241 prem. ; Southampton, 44 to 45 per share ; ditto, new, 19 to 20 prem. ; Great Western, 10 to 11 prem. ; Leeds and Manchester, 18 to 20 prem. ; North Midland, 1 dis. to prem. ; Brighton, 31 to 31 dis. ; Blackwali, 21 to 21 dis. ; Greenwich, 161 to 164 per share ; Birmingham and Derby, 10 to 8 dis. ; and Gosport Junction, 11 to 2i prem. POST.—The English funds were not quite so well quoted again this morning upon the opening of the mar ket. Parties seemed to be speculating upon the course of policy which the French Government may presently think fit to pursue in the affairs of Belgium, anu which will pro bably have been indicated by Louis Philippe in his speech to-day on the opening of the Chamber. This was settling day in the foreign funds. The differ ences arising upon the transactions of the last fortnight have been of very trifling amount, and they were therefore dis posed of without difficulty. The dealings for the end of the month did not prove of much importance, but prices ge nerally were rather more favourably quoted in this market towards the close, which was attributed rather to the ope ration of the Account than to any other cause. LAW IN TELLIGEN CE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 17. SANDYS V. WHATLEY. This was a motion to set aside an order of the Vice. Chancellor, which required the plaintiff, who is the Rector of Wiseton, in Gloucestershire, to give security for the costs of the suit, on the ground that he misdescribed his re sidence at the time of filing his bill, and that he was now living out of the jurisdiction of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the order must be discharged. From a balance of the statements made in the affidavits, it appeared to his Lordship that the plaintiff, although he had been travelling, was not out of the juris diction of the Court at the time of filing the bill, and that there was no misdescription in saying that he was of Wise ton, when it was admitted he held the rectory of that parish, although he did not reside in the parsonage. The order of the Court below was, therefore, overruled. NANNEY V. WYNNE. This was a motion to discharge an order of the Vice- Chancellor, directing one of two suits to be stayed. Th e plaintiff is an inf an t, en titl e d t o l arge estates i n Wales. Sir Watkin Wynne, Mr. Mostyn, and Mr. Stanley, the Secre tary of the Treasury, are the executors and trustees of the father's will. Some delay having taken place in the settle men of the affairs of the deceased, a bill was filed by Mr. Fisher, the maternal grandfather of the infant, for an ac count. Shortly afterwards another bill was filed by Mr. Hughes, as next friend of the infant. An answer has been put in to the second suit : and a decree taken for an account ; but no answer has been put in to the first suit, and Mr. Hughes accordingly finding that no progress was likely to be made in it, obtained an order to have it stayed. The order of the Court below was affirmed by the Lord Chancellor, but the case stands over until the pleadings in Mr. Hughes's suit are awarded. V ICE-CHAN CELL OR' S COURT, D sc. 17. BAGOT V. BAGOT. _ This was a motion for a receiver of estates in the coun ties of Hereford and Monmouth, of which the plaintiff, Mrs. Bagot, was tenant for life to her separate use, and that the receiver should pay Mrs. Bagot the amount he should receive until further order. Mrs. Bagot filed this bill, by Sir William Pilkington, her brother-in-law and next friend, to give effect to her marriage settlement, against her husband, Mr. Bagot, and her trustees. In consequence of some family dispute, the trustees would not concur in the appointment of a receiver, and Mrs. Bagot's Counsel now proposed that Mr. William Baker, who was one of the trustees, and was also the solicitor of her next friend, should be appointed receiver, he undertaking to give the usual security, and to act gratuitously. His HONOUR made the order sought. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH-DEC. 17. TUFTON AND ANOTHER V. WHITMORE AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought to recover from the defen dants damages for alleged negligences committed by them as attorneys and solicitors in causes in which they had been employed for the plaintiffs in the Courts of Chancery and Equity Exchequer in Ireland. The evidence consisted almost entirely of documents, the reading of which occupied the greater part of the day. Lord Brougham was called as a witness in the early part of the case, and having given his evidence left the Court. The question of negligence depended upon matters of a technical nature. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. PREROGATIVE COURT.—DEc. 17. WOOD AND OTHERS V. GOODLAKE, HELPS, AND OTHERS. This is a suit respecting the validity of the testamentary papers of the late James Wood, Esq , of Glocester. The arguments have occupied the Court for several days, and the case is still not nearly finished. It is expected that it will occupy the Court during the whole of this week. CRIMINAL COURT-MONDAY. OLD CO UR T. The second session of this Court of the present Mayor alty, was :opened yesterday morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Sergeant Arabin, the Sheriff, and other City officers. James Jiggins, about forty years of age, was indicted for receiving .591. 10s., the money of Samuel Solomon, under false pretences. The circumstances of the case were shortly as follow : The defendant was the steward of the Garrick Club house, and in that capacity became acquainted with the prosecutor, who is a fruit salesman in Covent-garden. In July, 1837, he obtained cash for a bill for 32/. from the prosecutor, and subsequently in October in the same year he obtained cash from him for two bills of 301. each. These bills were accepted by Messrs. Fairbrother and Co., house ar.d estate agents, but when application was made at their office for payment of the two latter bills, a clerk stated that they were forgeries, and that they would not be paid. Upon this a warrant was obtained by the prose cutor and lodged against the defendant, who had in the meantime become an inmate of the Queen's Bench. In November last the defendant served notice upon the pro secutor that he was ready to meet the charge against him ail jievr-street, and a f ter an i nvest i gat i on he was held to It was under these circumstances that he appeared at the bar in this Court. In support of the case, the prosecutor stated that when the defendant brought him the bills in question ho reprc kiented that they were given to him by the acceptors, who he said were respectable house and estate agents, for pro nor; y belonging to himself and his brother in Cambridge, which be had mortgag e e. The Faso,- wtor's son corroborated this statement. A witness Rated Fillingharn was called, who deposed that h e was the party who traded under the firm of Fair brother and Co. He said that he. became acquainted with the name clerk, o o a f the defendant at a s nt- public-house ardenani nd i t le h e al righbourhood of 13edlord,street, and e knew of VVC'ali.ieankg, to accept the billswind no such per sonthe firnt o. t when he entered the firm he under person na f med as Fairbrother, Fairbrother Co., good that there had been such a person in it. He did not give the bills to the defendant on account of property which he had mortgaged in Cambridge. Af er an appeal on the part of the prisoner by Mr. ADOLPHUS, WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. Last night the Queen's scholars of this school gave their last representation of Terence's Phormio, and had the high honour of counting his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his suite among their spectators. It is almost unnecessary to state that on his entering their theatre he was received with loud and universal plaudits. Whether it was owing to the presence of his Royal High ness, or whether the juvenile performers had obtained greater confidence in their own powers from the success of their former exertions, it was quite clear that their performance of last night was much more masterly than on former eve nings. The Phormio of Vernon and the Geta of Wood again elicited well-deserved praise ; each acted well up to the other, and the diffidence of Wood on his last appear ance having been completely got over on his appearance yesterday evening, he was more than a proud second to Vernon, who was quite the hero of the former representations. Of the other performers we ham e only to repeat• the remarks which we made on a former occasion. All acted admirably ; even the repre sentation of Demipho by Swabey deserved a higher tide than that of respectable, which we formerly applied to it. It was last night a quiet but just picture of that severe, cautious, and yet anxious father. Williams's Sophrona was an excellent piece of acting ; he tottered and coughed and drawled through his part as well as if he had really been an old nurse of some sixty years' standing. At the close of the comedy the epilogue was repeated, and gave, as before, great satisfaction. " God save the Queen" was then played by the band in honour of their Royal visitor, who, on leaving the theatre, was welcomed with the same tumult of applause with which he was received on entering it. The theatre was crowded to repletion, and we have no doubt that the collection made among the Noblemen and Gentlemen in the pit was such as would remunerate the Queen's scholars for any expense they might have in curred in this attempt to promote the amusement of their exalted visitors. The Learned RECORDER left it to the Jury to say if the defendant obtained the 591. 10s. on the bills, on the faith of a representation that he had property in Cambridgeshire. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the de ftndant was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A man of respectable appearance, --- nan;d Alexander Ca meron, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having committed extensive forgeries in Scotland, some years ago. The prisoner had been apprehended by John Forrester, the officer. A warrant had been sent from Glasgow for the appre hension of the prisoner, whom it was necessary to identify, in order to sanction his removal from London to the place in which the offence was stated to have been committed. Mr. James Scott stated that the prisoner was iu partner ship with him until between four and five years ago, and was the party named in the warrant. Anthony Nish, Queen's-messenger, stated that he was appointed to execute the warrant, and the prisoner was ordered to be handed over to his custody. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a grey-haired old man of military appearance, seemingly quite blind, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged by a policeman with begging. The policeman said the defendant had been pointed out to him by Dr. Bloxam, of Hanover -street, as a person going about to obtain money by fraudulent representations. Obsorving that the defendant called at different houses, he concluded that his object was to beg, and he took him into custody. Mr. CHAMBERS asked the defendant who he was ? De fendant—My name is James Green. lam a gentleman. Mr. CHAMBERS—If you are a gentleman why do you beg ? Defendant-1 would not degrade my station by such a proceeding. THE DUKE DE LEUCHTENBEIW AND BEAUHARNAIS FAMILY. Mr. CIIAMBEItS- What has been your occupation ? De fendant—l have held a high military rank in India. lam very well known to Mr. Dyer, who was Judge Advocate in the Bahamas at the time when I was Comptroller of Cus toms. Maximilian Joseph Eugene Auguste Napoleon de Bean harnais, Duke de Leuchtenberg, whose impending mar riage with the Grand Duchess Mary of Russia excites so much attention, was born on the 2d of October, 1817*. The family of Beauharnais is of the Orleanais, and de scends from Francois de Beauharnais, Lord of Beauville, and Villechauve, whose eldest son, Francois, having formed an establishment on the coast of Acadia, at a place called Port Maltais, the King of France conferred it upon him, and erected it into a barony in the year 1707, under the name of Beauville, and, on condition of his paying fealty and homage for that Lordship to Castle Saint Louis of Quebec. On this Francois de Beauharnais dying without posterity, his brother Claude, a Captain in the Royal Navy, inherited the family property and honours. It was in favour of the latter's eldest son, Frangois de Beauhar nais, Baron de Beauville, and Governor of Martinique, that the estate and Lordship of La Ferte-Aurain was erected into a Marquisate, under the name of La Ferte- Beauharnais, by a Royal patent issued at Compeigne, in July, 1764. The Marquis left two sons. The eldest, Francois, Marquis de Beauharnais, was Deputy- Suppliant of the Nobility for Paris, in the States-General of 1789. He always sat on the cote droit, or Royalist Mr. CHAMBERS-If you have been in the East India Company's service, you have a pension I suppose ? De fendant—l have a pension of 451. a year, but not from the East India Company. The fact is, my father held a very high rank in India. I had a situation of 500 rupees a month, which I thought I could better by going into the service of Sindia, then an ally of the Company's. I had the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, but 1 was made a Major- Gent ral for my services in " bushing" cannon. Mr. CHAMBERS—Your pension ought to be sufficient to keep you without resorting to begging. Defendant—l have lost m y s i g ht, and front other mis- fortunes am very straitened in my circumstances, so that I thought I would call on those who formerly knew me, and state my situation to them. I have been wounded eleven times in the army. I have loit my sight, and after undergoing an operation for cataract, I was run over by a cab, and had my collar-bone broken. Dr. Bioxam in a short time entered the office, and said he had strong reason for believing the defendant went about imposing upon the medical profession. He had called at his house on two occasions ; one time he repre sented himself to be a distressed surgeon, the other a pcor dentist. Witness had also seen him at the houses of other medical men. benches of the National Assembly, and at a later period offered to defend the unfortunate Louis the Sixteenth at the bar of the Sanguinary Convention. An author even affirms that such was his perseverance in his honourable attachment to his lawful Princes, that he urged his sister in-law Josephine to persuade her husband into a surrender of the Throne to the Bourbons. The other son, Alexandre, Viscount de Beauharnais, born at Martinique in 1760, was a Major of Infantry when he married Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie, since so celebrated as Empress of the French. He was Deputy of the Blois Nobility to the States-General, and one of the first to go over to the Tiers-Etat. He actively laboured in the preparations for the memorable Federation at the Champs-de-Mars, and according to Mercier's last tableau of Paris was put to the same cart with the Abbe Sieyes. Though one of the warmest promoters of the revolution, he escaped not the fate which befel so many more of its partisans. Accused of having by his inaction contributed to the surrender of Mentz, he was condemned to death in July, 1794, and died on the scaffold with great courage and composure. When the Conservative Senate was created, the statue of Gen. Beauharnais was placed in the Palace of the Luxembourg. By his marriage with Josephine he had issue the late Hortense Eugenie, Duchess de St. Leu. married in 1802 to Louis Bonaparte, ci-devant King of Holland ; and the gallant Eugene Rose de Beauharnais, Napoleon's adopted son, Viceroy of Italy, Prince of Venice, and Hereditary Grand Duke of Frankfort. Eugene was born in 1780, and died at Munich in September, 1824. In 1814, when Bonaparte fell,t notwithstanding the offer which it is said Louis XVIII. made him of a Marshal's baton, he wifr... drew to the dominions of Maximilian Joseph, King of Bavaria, whose daughter, Augusta Amelia (born in 1788), he had married in 1806. In 1817, the King conferred upon him the titles of Duke of Leuchtenberg, Prince of Eichstadt, and " Royal Highness ;" his house was declared the first Princely one of Bavaria, and he was authorised to take precedence immediate►y after the Princes of the Royal Family. At the same time he was granted the principality of Eichstadt for a sum of 200,0001. This latter arrange• ment was the consequence of an engagement which the Allied Sovereigns had come to in the treaty of the 11th of April, 1814, whereby they were to bestow an establishment upon Prince Eugene as soon as circumstances should permit. The Prince was, moreover, left in possession of his dotations in Italy, and of his private property in France and America. The Royal deed, which confers upon the late Prince Eugene the titles of Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of Eichstadt, provides that all the honours, rights,and privileges attached to the two titles shall perpetually belong to his house ; that the title of " Serene Highness" shall be borne by all his descendants ; that the title of Duke shall be borne only by the eldest son in the order of primogeniture ; and that the other children shall bear the titles of Princes and Priocesses of Leuchtenberg and Eichstadt. In 1818 the Duke de Leuchtenberg and his descendants, by order of the primogeniture, were declared first hereditary Peers (Reichsrathe) of the Crown of Bavaria. Prince Eugene left two sons ; the eldest,Duke Augustus, married on the 27th of January, 1835, the Queen of Por tugal, Donna Maria, and assumed along with the title of " Prince of Portugal" the dignity of Peer and General-in Chief of that kingdom. On the 28th of March, 1835, he prem ►turely died, when his young brother, Maximilian, then serving as a Lieutenant in the 4th regiment of Bavarian Light Horse, succeeded to the Duchy of Leuchtenberg. Eugene de Beauharnais left also four daughters—Jose phine, the eldest, is married to the Crown Prince of Sweden ; Eugenie to the Hereditary Prince of Hohen zollern-Hechingen ; Amelie is the widow of the late Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil and Duke of Braganza ; Theo dolinde, the fourth daughter, born in 1814, is not married Mr. CHAMBERS asked defendant if he had at any time called himself a surgeon ? Defendant—l was brought up to the medical profession. I was educated at Trinity Col lege, Dublin. Mr. CHAMBERS—And where have you practised ? De fendant—ln France and other places. Dr. Bloxam said he doubted the story of the defendant. He would, with permission, examine him as to his medical skill, and if he answered his questions correctly, he would present him with a crown for the trouble he had caused. Dr. Bloxam—What is the anatomical name of the thigh bone ? Defendant--I don't mane to tell. Dr. Bloxam—l thought so. And as you call yourself a dentist, how many teeth has a man at 21 ? Defendant— I'm not bound to answer that question. Mr. CHAMBERS—You say you have invented some dis infecting apparatus. Pray what is considered to be the most common disinfecting agent ? Defendant—l can't recollect. Mr. CHAMBERS—I am now satisfied that a great part of your story is untrue. I have now no doubt of the mode by which you attempt to obtain money. This time I will let you off ; but if you are brought here again, you may depend on it you will not escape so easily. The defendant then went away. WAVERLEY MANUSCRIPTS.—We lately had the pleasure of looking over the eriginal manuscripts of the Waverley Novels, which have been re-purchased from various parties, and are now in the safe keeping of Mr. Cadell, publisher, Edinburgh. They form a long file of quarto volumes, handsomely 'bound in russia leather. They are accompanied by the original manuscripts of the " Lady of the Lake," and some other of the poems. So vast a series of original compositions—full of bril liant creative genius —has certainly not issued from one man's brain since Shakspeare threw off successively his thirty-seven plays, apparently with the same ease that a tree resignS its leaves to the wind. Sir Walter Scott wrote a careless but free and regular hand ; his novels are written on large quarto post paper, on one side only (as authors generally do for the accommo dation of the printer), and each page is crammed from top to bottom and side to side. Leaf follows leaf, through quires and reams of paper, with only a slight verbal correction or interlineation here and there / His in tellect seems at once to have embodied itself in suitable language, and lie poured out himself on the same facility that a man engages i n conversation, or pens an ordi nary letter. Sir W a l ter , i t i s k nown, read over an d revised the whole of his novels preparatory to their republication in their latest form in monthly volumes. For this purpose he had a copy of each work interleaved ; and this goodly array of volumes is also in the possession of Mr. Cadell. Sir Walter appears to have bestowed considerable pains on this last duty to his numerous offspring : he altered words, improved the phraseology, corrected his q uotations, and oc c asi ona ll y h e i g h tene d an d i mprove d t h e dialogue. Sonic of the smaller fry of critics used to ridicule the author of Waverley for his Scotticisms, such as saying that one man inquired at another, instead of inquiring of him. Sir Walter made the only sensible use of these criticisms: he quietly drew his pen through the " at" and substituted "of." No Scottish author, with the single exception, perhaps, of Dr. Beattie, ever fairly got rid of these little peculiarities of style and expression which betray his origin ; but few or none could be more indifferent about the matter than Sir W. Scott. He looked to th e general effect—to the grouping of inci dents—and to the delineation of character and passion, leaving the language to shift for itself. The world was content to take the words as they came. The press was always calling to him for manuscript ; and the prospect of a new wing to Abbotsford, or the payment of another thousand pounds, spurred him on in his almost superhu man career. Alas ! that he should have taxed himself be yond the strength and endurance of frail humanity ! We may add that the Waverley manuscripts are kept in a fine Gothic cabinet of oak, which Mr. Cadell has had made for the purpose ; and, if no accident intervene, future ages will undoubtedly look upon this ark of genius with wonder and delight.—lxverness Courier. * According to the " Dictionnaire de la Noblesse," by La.. cbesnaye des Bois, and " L'Armorial d s France," the family descends from Guillaume de Be.tuharnais, who lived towards the latter end of the fourteenth century. It was in possession of the estate of Villechauve as early as the year 1500, and one of its members was deputy of the nobility of Orleans to the States General of 1614. The family motto is" Autre ne Sers." t The Empress Josephine herself was to have been pre sented to Louis XVIII., in 1814, but death prevented that event, which excited much attention at Court. In the month of January, 1815, Hortense, her daughter, had an audienco of the same Monarch, when he conferred upon her the title of Duchess de St. Leu, instead of that of Countess. An officer who served under the Emperor Napoleon has accomplished a singular performance of patient industry, to which he devoted th ree w h o l e years. After the fall °of Napoleon, having procured some of the hair of the Emperor, of Maria Louisa, and of the King of R ome, h e formed a ' medallion, containing the address of General Bonaparte to the army of Italy, on the summit of the Alps—" Soldiers! we descend from these rocks like an impetuous torrent, and we will conquer the immense plains which meet our won dering eyes. Then shall victory dispense happi ness to a ll . " This little speech, which in the original French contains about 150 letters is easily read with a good glass, although the space occupied is almost inconceivably small. T o add to the interest that the little work alone would excite, several general officers, and among others General . Bert ran d , h ave certified that the materiel is the hair of the three illustrious personages mentioned.—French Paper. An inquest was held yesterday in Belton -street, Long-acre, on the body of an illegitimate child, which was found dead in the bed of its mother under suspicious cir cumstances. Several of the Jury expressed their fi rm opi nion that the child had been smothered by the moth er , al though no evidence could be obtained to prove such. Af ter deceasedsome consultation was f,) found thed suffocated, Jury returned but whether a ve t r he i r dc t , That the by design or accident there was not sufficient evidence to prove." Th e mother was reprimanded by the Coroner. A BENEVOLENT DEED.—Last Friday, the Right Hon. Lady Kinnaird, accompanied by his Lordship, v i s i te d Mrs. Weekes (the widow of the celebrated Irish Weekes), at the Star Hotel, when, after making many tender inqui ries as to the condition and circumstances of the family, J Ladyship presented the widow with a bank order for 10L— Perth Constitutional. TENDENCY OF RAILWAYS TO INCREASE TRAY rm.—The travellers from the small towns near part of the Leipsic and Dresden railroad, which has been already opened, have increased so enormously that a second line of rails is thought necessary. The conveyance of goods has increased in like proportion. Yesterday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Stirling, at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of William Bailey, aged 35, who met his death under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that deceased, who was a la bouring man, was, on the morning of Thursday, the 29th ult., at work in the common sewer near Irongate Wharf, Paddington, at the depth of about five feet, when a piece of earth between two supporters weighing about 2 cwt. gave way, and falling on deceased's left foot, he was knocked down. He was immediately taken up, and his left boot cut off, when there was found to be a wound on the instep about four inches in length. He appeared much hurt, and was conveyed to this hospital in a cab, where he continued getting worse. Mortification subsequently ensued, and he died on Friday last. It was proved that the ground was well shored up, and that the only piece of earth which gave way (owing, it is supposed, to previous heavy rains) was the piece that caused the injury to deceased, a n d w hi c h f e ll about three feet from the top.

THE SPY IN THE QUEEN'S PALACE The majority of the public do not seem inclined to place implicit reliance on the statement made by the prisoner, that be had been a year an uninvited and invisible guest at the Palace, and this opinion is borne out by the inquiries made of persons at the Palace most competent to give accurate information. In answer to the questions put by the Magis trate, the prisoner asserted that during the year he had made nocturnal visits to the kitchen to appease his hunger. This declaration is not at all borne out, but rather nega tived, by the result. During the residence of her Majesty at the Palace there would naturally be a superabundance of provisions, but the prisoner could not have availed him self of this circumstance, as it is a rule to lock up all apart ments containing provisions on the retirement of the ser vants to rest. Since her Majesty's absence the same rou tine has been observed, so that it would be a matter of im possibility for the prisoner to have obtained food of any description without being discovered. The second assertion of the prisoner's, that he frequently " washed his shirt at night " is perfectly incredible, froth the fact of the fires being extinguished, as also the lights His story respecting his hiding behind the furniture of the various rooms during the day is also unworthy of belief, as the particular fixture of the furniture affords no opportunity for concealment. One thing is exceedingly certain, that he could not have originally obtained ingress to the Palace by descending the chimneys, inasmuch as they are so con structed as to prevent any such occurrence taking place, although there was nothing to prevent him ascending them to a certain height during the day. The prevalent opinion amongst the domestics of the Palace is that the prisoner must have obtained admittance on Wednesday or Thurs day last, amongst the body of labourers, as above a hun dred are employed at the present time, making alterations during her Majesty's absence ; and the fact of his appear ance at the Palace being of a recent date is materially affirmed by his appealing to the inspector on the moment of his apprehension for food, and devouring it eagerly. The police, together with the domestics, have inspected the apartments, and the result is that no articles of value are missing. Inquiries are now being made as regards that part of the prisoner's statement respecting his parentage and native place. The prevailing opinion is, that he is a native of London, and, by his shrewdness and education, of respectable parentage. He has been visited by most of the men employed at the Palace, as well as by Mr. Andrews. chimney -sweeper to her Majesty, who all deny any know ledge of him. The Hon. Charles Murray, Master of her Majesty's Household, on be ng made acquainted with the circumstances, ordered a strict inquiry to be instituted It is stated that such strict attention is not paid to the ingress and egress of persons to the Royal Palace as is ne cessary to the protection of the Royal Person, in support of which we need only mention the case of Thomas Flower, the silversmith, who is at present under restraint, and who, as our readers are aware, was found a few months since sitting in the Picture Gallery, half an hour after her Ma jesty had retired to rest, and at no very considerable distance from the Royal apartments. From that period the Palace duty has been done by two inspectors, a ser geant, and six constables of police.—Observer. At the Queen-square Police-office yesterday several ap plications were privately made to the Magistrate who had heard the case ( Mr. White) on the subject of the boy found in Buckingham Palace. A communication was made , in the early part of' the day by Lieut. Tracey, Governor of the Tothill-fields Brideweld, but the result did not tran spire, although we were given to understand that the boy's account was a tissue of falsehood. A person, whose name we believe to be Griffiths, a plumber, had some minutes' conversation with the Magistrates, no part of which was mad , public, but it is said that he is the boy's master, and that the lad absconded from his employ ment last Tuesday morning. A tailor named Jones, residing in York-street, Westminster, whose son has been missing a week, applied at the office, and was directed to proceed to prison, to as certain if he could identify the lad. He did not return until the office had closed, but informed our reporter, in the presence of several persons, that the boy charged with being found in the Palace was his son ; that his name was not William Cotton, as he had given it at this office, but Edwin Jones ; and that his age was sixteen. Jones, sen., further added that his son had absconded from the service of Mr. Griffiths, of 28, Coventry-street, Haymarket, and had declined answering his father's questions as to hi nio tive for going to the Palam About one o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the shop of an oil and colourman named Richardson, Wheeler -street, Spitalfields, which totally destroyed the premises. The inmates had a narrow escape. The origin of the fire is not known. The property is insured. - - On Thursday afternoon a daring robbery was perpe trated at the respectable rooms of Mr. Southgate, book auctioneer, Fleet street. Captain Saumarez, R.N., had made a purchase of books for which he paid. Some little time afterwards another lot was knocked down to the Captain, and, as before, he put his hand into his pocket for his purse—which contained tw five-pound notes, four sovereigns, and nineteen shillings awl sixpence in silver, when he discovered that the purse and its contents were gone. The door of the auction-room being closed to pre vent any further egress or ingress, a policeman soon made his appearance, and a strict search was made upon a sus pected person, but nothing was found upon him. Captain Saumarez then stepped forward and declared that he would prefer losing five times the amount rather than suffer the feelings of so many respectable persons as he saw around him to be outraged by undergoing the humiliating ceremony of being searched. The Captain then made hig obeisance to the company, and withdrew. PICTURES OF TIIEWORLD ATI-10MB ANDABROAD. —This new work, from the pen of Mr. Ward, will revive in the reader's mind the impression produced by that most popular and delightful of all the novels of our own day, " Tremaine ; or, the Man of Refinement :"—one of the heroes of Air. Ward's " Pictures" being a man of the most exquisite tastes, cultivated intellect, and refined habits of thought and feeling—who is, nevertheless, wholly lost to himself and to society, in consequence of the circumstances of his early life having caused him to attach an undue value to the good will and good word of " The Fashionable World." This tale is the most entertaining in its details, and at the same time, the most impressive in its moral, of any that has yet proceeded from Alr.Ward's admirable pen. The " Pictures" include also, not a few, the likenesses of which are so true that it will be impossible to overlook the living originals from which the features were taken. Yet the costume in which they are attired is so skilfully con trived, that it will be impossible for any one to accuse the author of an unhandsome infringement of the necessary re strictions of private life in regard to matters of this nature. There is at Queen's College, Oxford, a custom ob served on every Chrismas-day, of decorating a boar's head with holly, &c., and carrying it into the hall, in procession, accompanied with singing an ancient song. On this occa ,ion the public are admitted to view the ceremony, and the hall presents an animated appearance.
